The historic centre and the Reina Victoria district

Today's Huelva is the result of a mixture of styles from the different cultures that have settled in the area: Phoenicians, Greeks, Tartessos, Punics, Romans, Muslims and Christians. You will find numerous buildings bequeathed to the city, built by the English in the Victorian era. For instance, the Barrio de Reina Victoria breathes the history of mining and the industrial past during the period of English colonisation. However, it is in the historic centre where we find the true essence of the city, framed between the avenues of Italy and Germany. It's a lively area full of all kinds of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants, and the modern buildings coexist with the most historic Huelva.

However, the current building was designed in the 15th century. In its interior, we can find several themed rooms where past times are recreated, such as the Mazmorras, the Armory or the Chamber of the Countess that house different instruments and torture machines.

2. Follow Columbus' footsteps through the monastery of La Rabida

It was in this small monastery that Christopher Columbus planned his journey to the Indies. Probably one of the most decisive historical sites in the entire history of mankind. Inside, it houses a museum with a variety of objects related to the discovery of America. If you want to follow the footsteps of Columbus, book a holiday rental in Huelva today.

3. Trek through Doñana National Park

This is the perfect place for all those who enjoy contact with nature and bird watching. It's a landscape of impressive beauty, where the practically virgin beaches give way to dunes, forests and marshes that serve as habitats for wild boar, roe deer, horses, eagles and hawks. The best way to enjoy the Doñana National Park is by doing one of the many walking routes that exist in this place. However, if you want to do a family excursion, it is advisable to opt for the 4x4 route.

4. Travel to colonial times by walking through the Reina Victoria Worker's Neighbourhood

Want to spend some time outside your villa in Sotogrande? How about a road trip to visit the Reina Victoria Worker's Neighbourhood? This is a residential neighbourhood that was built after the sale of the mines of Riotinto to the English in the late nineteenth century. Walking its streets and contemplating its colonial-style houses, one feels inevitably transported to the past. The small English city is made to measure and adapt to the customs and ways of life of the time. These are private houses, not museums, so you can't get inside.

5. Walk at sunset along the Tinto dock

Discover one of the greatest iron engineering works of the 19th century in our country. A colossal infrastructure designed by the English to load the production of the Riotinto Mines. The place is full of history and is ideal for a romantic stroll at the end of the day, enjoying the smell of the sea.
